Description
Technical field
The present invention relates generally to the making of optical fiber, specifically, relate to form the glass preform that uses for optical fiber.Particularly, the present invention relates to be used for the treating processes and the equipment of stretching optical fiber prefabricated rods.
Background technology
The known treating processes that has multiple making to be used for the glass preform of drawing optical fiber.These treating processess comprise modified version chemical vapour deposition (MCVD) treating processes, outer vapour deposition (OVD) treating processes and vapor phase axial deposition (VAD) treating processes.
The treating processes of many known making prefabricated rods all comprises a stage, is called stretching, wherein, according to the different technologies relevant with the particular production treating processes, forms the prefabricated rod of the glassiness, shrinks through diameter, obtains the prefabricated rods of the last diameter of regulation.For this reason, in process furnace or by torch equipment, the prefabricated rod of heating glass matter is up to softening temperature.Then, the prefabricated rod that stretches, so that shrink the diameter in its softening zone, this zone is called " neck ".The prefabricated rod of the glassiness has centre hole, and this centre hole can collapse in draw stage.
The known scheme that multiple stretching prefabricated rods is arranged.According to some scheme, all move at the prefabricated rods two ends, and the maintenance of the heating region of prefabricated rods is motionless.In this case, prefabricated rods generally is stretched along vertical axes (" vertically stretch processing process "), and the upper end of prefabricated rods is attached on the feeder; Feeder is suspending prefabricated rods in midair and prefabricated rods is being presented to process furnace.In the lower end, i.e. the downstream of process furnace, prefabricated rods is attached on the puller, and this puller provides the pulling force of stretching prefabricated rods necessity.
In process furnace, prefabricated rods is heated to softening temperature.The translatory velocity that puller applies is greater than the feed rate of feeder, thereby the softening zone of prefabricated rods is stretched.The prefabricated rods external diameter thereby the contraction in softening zone, and centre hole, if any, can collapse.Depend on the circumstances, feeder and puller also can make the axle rotation of prefabricated rods around it.
According to other scheme, prefabricated rods one end keeps motionless and the other end moves, and heating region moves along a direction simultaneously, and this direction is same or opposite with the mobile phase of prefabricated rods.In this scheme, prefabricated rods generally stretches along transverse axis (" horizontal stretch treating processes ").Prefabricated rods for example is installed in the blowtorch heating on the dolly by level well heater movably.On the axle of prefabricated rods two ends attached to horizontal lathe: an axle keeps motionless, and another moves horizontally.The translatory velocity of movable axle and well heater is determined the last diameter of prefabricated rods.In this case, also can make the axle rotation of prefabricated rods around it.
No matter the specified scheme that the stretching prefabricated rods adopts how, the main purpose in preform bar stretching stage is to obtain the rod diameter of regulation, so that pay follow-up processing, up to the drawing of optical fiber.Therefore, in draw stage, monitoring prefabricated rods diameter is very important.
To the monitoring of draw stage prefabricated rods diameter, various technology have been proposed.In general, all these requires the axle along prefabricated rods, particularly along neck, based on the equipment of laser apparatus, on the discrete point of limited quantity (a bit, 2 points or 3 points), measures the prefabricated rods diameter by for example; A diameter or a plurality of diameter measured usually with the comparison of predetermined diameter value, are controlled the feed rate of feeder in view of the above, and/or the speed of puller, and perhaps movable pivoting axis speed is decided the scheme on the stretching prefabricated rods of employing.For example, the diameter of supposing measurement then increases movable pivoting axis speed greater than aimed dia, and vice versa.
A technology of stipulating point measurement prefabricated rods diameter along the prefabricated rods axle for example illustrates in the patent below: JP 57092534, JP 62108743, JP 61014149, US 5,755,849 and US 5,942,019.Patent JP 5147971, US 6,178,778 and JP 8091861 are two or three discrete points along the prefabricated rods axle, measure the example of the prior art documents of prefabricated rods diameter.
Particularly, and with the relevant US 5,942,019 of process furnace stretching prefabricated rods, emphasize to measure the importance that the position of tapered section (being neck) outside diameter is provided with.Put it briefly, this documents claims, find that the outside diameter measuring position is placed on the situation near the tapered section upper end, promptly near in the situation of well heater, even translational speed when the control chuck, the constant outer diameter that keeps the tapered section upper end, this outside diameter still changes at tapered section, thereby the outside diameter that makes the body that is stretched becomes inhomogeneous and fluctuating, and on the contrary, the diameter measurement position is placed on the situation near the tapered section lower end outside, because glass preform is almost cooling in this position, and its viscosity has become very big to stretching, even detect the fluctuating of outside diameter, also is difficult to correct.Still according to US 5,942,019, the interior diameter of the outside diameter measuring position of the optimization that changes with stretching front glass prefabricated rods outside diameter, the outside diameter of extrusion, heater temperature, heating furnace core tube, or the like, all must determine by test.
According to the applicant's suggestion, rely on test to determine the optimization position of diameter measurement point, from the viewpoint of industrial application, be unsafty.

Embodiment
With reference now to accompanying drawing,, Fig. 1 is according to one embodiment of the invention, the synoptic diagram of simplifying very much of the optical fiber preform bar stretching equipment that draws.
This stretcher all the time with 101 marks, comprises horizontal lathe 105, and it has motionless axle 107a that along continuous straight runs separates and movable axle 107b.First end of glass preform 109 and second end 109a and the 109b, respectively attached on motionless and movable axle 107a and the 107b.For this reason, the first and second prefabricated rods end 109a and 109b can be provided with conventional spanner (not drawing among the figure).Prefabricated rods 109 is extended between motionless and movable axle 107a and 107b in view of the above, and during elongation, the longitudinal axis 109c of prefabricated rods is basically in the plane of level.
Preferably, digital camera 117 has a wave filter or a plurality of wave filter, so that improve the quality of photographic images; Particularly, can use infrared filter or Polarization filter, these wave filters can be selected according to optical source wavelength.
Should be pointed out that the device type that the stretching prefabricated rods adopts, should be as limitation of the present invention.Replace above-mentioned illustrational equipment, for example, can adopt the vertical stretcher that comprises prefabricated rods feeder, process furnace and prefabricated rods puller.In this case, photographic camera can combine with process furnace, makes it can take the image of neck or predetermined portion.
The simplified flow chart that Fig. 2 draws shows the key step of preform bar stretching sequence of control 201.
In first step (square frame 203), image capturing apparatus 115 is taken the image (or its part, preferably near prefabricated rods section 109e) at least of neck 109d.
The image of taking is fed to be handled and control unit 119 (square frame 205).This processing and control unit 119 are handled the image of taking by image processing software; Specifically, meaningful part (prefabricated rods neck) that picture processing can make image and nonsensical image section as background or interference separation, and are extracted the prefabricated rods neck, or the successive profile of its last branch (square frame 207) at least.
Then, with handling and control unit 119, the neck profile that image processing program obtains is analyzed, from the profile that obtains, extract geometric parameter (square frame 209), and utilize the analytical results of neck profile, the speed of control dolly 111 (thereby blowtorch 113), and/or the speed (square frame 211) of movable axle 107b, thereby implement gate ring.For example, by the analysis of neck profile, can extract the significant parameter that is used for the control stretching stage.
Program moves on, up to whole prefabricated rods drawn (square frame 213).
About this picture processing (square frame 207), have been found that, the image that digital camera is taken is by pictorial element (pixel) matrix representation, pixel is the elementary cell that the image of shooting is segmented, pixel count in the matrix is relevant with the precision of digital camera (resolving power): for example resolving power is 1,000 * 1, the image that the photographic camera of 000 pixel provides, by 1,000, the matrix representation (1 of 000 pixel, 000 along continuous straight runs, 1,000 is vertically), each pixel is corresponding with corresponding scenery area.
Relevant with the color of the corresponding area of related information of each pixel and scenery; In grayscale camera, color is represented that by the gray scale in the gray level two is extremely respectively with black and white corresponding.Color related with each pixel or half-tone information are encoded with digital code.For example, each gray scale can be distinguished 4096 kinds of different gray scales with the digital camera of 12 digital bit coded representation, and to each pixel, related with it 12 bit-binary coding round values is arranged, and identifies the gray scale of this pixel, comprises 2
0(as corresponding to black) is to 2
12(as corresponding to white).
Processed pixels is corresponding to the binary code of the corresponding gray scale of expression of processed pixels matrix and association.
Any image processing software that can buy on the market can utilize on principle; In addition, also can use the image processing software of customization.Irrelevant with the image processing software that adopts, the elementary operation of carrying out in image processing step is described as follows.
Before attempting to extract the neck profile from the image of taking, image preferably passes through filtering, to suppress noise and interference.Any known image filtering algorithm can adopt.
Process is carried out the image of taking after the filtering, is the skeletal lines of identification prefabricated rods neck.This step provides that those belong to the pixel of neck skeletal lines in all pixels of picture element matrix.Obtaining a kind of algorithm of this result, is to set up the predetermined threshold value gray scale, and then, gray scale is lower than the pixel in the matrix of (perhaps being higher than) this predetermined threshold, is identified and distinguishes to belong to the neck skeletal lines.Another kind of identification belongs to the algorithm of the pixel of neck skeletal lines, is that the gray scale of neighbor is compared to each other, and distinguishes all pixels of gray scale and at least one preset value of front pixel grey scale difference, belongs to the neck skeletal lines.Other also can be used by the image recognition algorithm that the computer software that can buy is on the market implemented.
Depend on the circumstances, discern, can carry out image interpolation, increase the precision of image in case belong to the pixel of neck.For this reason, can utilize known image interpolation algorithm.Therefore can increase to the precision that surpasses single pixel to the precision of images.
Fig. 3 signal is drawn from the image of taking, the continuous neck profile of Huo Deing after treatment; In fact, from the neck profile that photographic images obtains, normally discontinuous (because obtaining) from pixel, but the precision of image capturing apparatus and image processing software can make profile can regard basic successive as on all effects.Rectangle 301 presentation video areas, and the curve 303 in the rectangle 301 is neck profiles of identification.As long as the scenery area (L1 and L2) in the linear module is known, the conversion ratio from the pixel to the linear module is easier to determine.In addition, or in addition, can in the scenery area, introduce reference metric.In yet another embodiment, can provide conventional diameter measuring device in the upstream and/or the downstream of image capturing apparatus; The diameter value of this device or these measurement devices, can arrive one group of point of linear module conversion (in linear module as pixel, recess diameter by this diameter measuring device is measured compares with the recess diameter that obtains from photographic images in pixel, sets up the gain factor of pixel to linear module).
Obviously, can be from the neck continuous curve that obtains, even the information that derives from its part, the information that derives from part for example near the neck of tensile prefabricated rods section, than simply measure the information that the prefabricated rods diameter is derived along the one or more discrete points of neck, greatly enrich manyly.
Specifically, the neck continuous curve of acquisition can overcome above-mentioned problem, and the stretching control techniques that influence is conventional is the natural selection that will measure point or a plurality of points of prefabricated rods diameter.
For example, the analysis of the neck profile of acquisition, can determine in real time the starting point (x1 among Fig. 3) of neck and neck end point (x2 among Fig. 3), neck length (| x2-x1|), along the prefabricated rods diameter (D among Fig. 3) of any point of neck.The analysis of neck profile, even can derive the mathematical formula of the description neck profile of resolving.
From the viewpoint of reality, the selection of image capturing apparatus should be considered two important parameters, is exactly the resolving power and the sweep rate of the image of shooting.
As mentioned above, image resolution ratio is the index of image capturing apparatus precision.
But, careful degree in the image of shooting, not only relevant, also relevant with the area of scenery with the resolving power of image capturing apparatus.For example, if use the digital camera of above-mentioned 1,000 * 1,000 pixel, obtain the image that area is 100 * 100mm scenery, each pixel is represented the area of scenery 0.1 * 0.1mm.
The image interpolation treating processes can increase the precision of the image of taking, and can detect the following details of pixel dimension.
Sweep rate is the index of per second photographic images number of times.In order to continue the monitoring neck shaped in the preform bar stretching stage, require to have sufficiently high sweep rate.But, between the precision of images of sweep rate and shooting, exist compromise; The precision of images is high more, and the resolving power of image capturing device is high more, and pixel count is high more, then has more bits to need to transmit, so sweep rate is low more.
The digital camera that can buy characterizes resolving power with pixel count on the market, the grade of pixel count has 512 * 512,1000 * 1000,1300 * 1000,2000 * 2000 and 4000 * 4000, and sweep rate also decreases (from 100-200 frame per second-fps-to 0.5fps).Supposition will be taken the image that area is 100 * 100mm scenery once more, and the precision of image increases with the increase of resolving power, but cost is the reduction of sweep rate.
Can think, adopt commercially available digital camera, the compromise of satisfaction is: resolving power is 1300 * 1000 pixels, the about 15fps of sweep rate; Such Digital photographic function is so that equal the precision of 0.076mm less, and obtaining area is the image of 100 * 100mm scenery, and thinks the image that is suitable for taking in the meticulous control stretching treating processes prefabricated rods neck profile.
If do not influence sweep rate, need higher precision again, can utilize the image capturing apparatus of customization.
Though should be pointed out that the black and white digital camera being favourable aspect image definition and the sweep rate, also can use analog camera, particularly color camera.It is contemplated that the visual image camera system of other types, for example the equipment that vertically moves along neck based on laser with suitable speed.
Have been found that and use suitable interpolation algorithm,, also can rebuild the successive profile from the point of the much lower limited quantity of counting that provides according to camera.
The inherent high information quantity of successive neck profile own can be implemented the technology in various effective control preform bar stretching stages.
Now with reference to the simplified flow chart of Fig. 4, an one exemplary embodiment according to control techniques of the present invention is described, the neck profile analysis program that square frame 209 among Fig. 2 is drawn in this figure signal.
At first, analyze this neck profile, with the starting point x1 of acquisition neck, and/or neck end point x2 (square frame 401).Neck starting point x1 for example can be by along the neck profile, determines that the prefabricated rods diameter drops on the point of the following a certain predetermined threshold of prefabricated rods initial diameter first and determines.From neck profile interpolation, derive the situation of the analytic formula of describing the neck profile, then neck starting point x1 can determine by the monitoring first order derivative.Neck end point x2 can determine in a similar manner.
According to the neck starting point and neck end point x1 and the x2 that determine, can determine the recess diameter D (x3) that will calculate some x3 (square frame 403) along neck.
Fig. 5 A, 5B and 5C are the simplified flow charts of three kinds of possibility programs, are used for the optimum point x3 of definite recess diameter that will calculate, so that can accurately control the prefabricated rods diameter.
According to first program, shown in Fig. 5 A, the some x3 of the recess diameter that calculate, x2 is a fixed with respect to the neck end point, in case determined neck end point x2, deducts predetermined constant K1 from an x2, can obtain an x3 (square frame 501a).
According to second program, shown in Fig. 5 B, some x3 is a fixed with respect to neck starting point x1; In case determined neck starting point x1, x2 adds predetermined constant K2 point, can obtain an x3 (square frame 501b).
According to the 3rd program, shown in Fig. 5 C, at first x2 is deducted x1, calculate the length (square frame 501c) of neck, then, by calculating, order equals neck length from the distance of neck starting point | the per-cent K3 that x2-x1| is predetermined, determine some x3 (square frame 503c).Perhaps, some x3 can be as equaling the distance of neck length predetermined percentage from neck end point x2 and determining.
Obviously, because some x1 and x2 change in the tensile treating processes, so some x3 changes too.
Should be pointed out that to be used for definite selection of calculating the reference point of prefabricated rods diameter, depend on the type of control algolithm.For example, if would rather near the neck final stage, monitor the diameter of prefabricated rods, so, preferably on neck end point (inspection by the neck profile is determined) predetermined distance, calculating the prefabricated rods diameter.Same possible be, monitoring prefabricated rods diameter on two or more points, one near the neck end point, and one near the neck starting point; In this case, the prefabricated rods diameter can be from calculating on the neck end point predetermined distance and calculating on neck starting point predetermined distance, and neck end point and neck starting point 2 points all pass through the inspection of neck profile and determine.
After having determined to calculate the some x3 of recess diameter,, can calculate (square frame 405) from the neck profile along the diameter D (x3) on this aspect of neck.
Calculating recess diameter D (x3) compares diameter that calculates and aimed dia predetermined, that be stored in processing and the control unit 119 afterwards on predetermined point x3, and the deviation of definite calculated diameter and aimed dia (square frame 407).With the movable axle 107b of this deviation control and the speed (square frame 211 among Fig. 2) of loading the dolly 111 of blowtorch 113.For example, if the diameter that calculates then increases the speed of movable axle greater than aimed dia, vice versa.
Put it briefly, behind the image of handling image capturing device 115 shootings, on the successive neck profile basis that obtains, go up definite (from the analysis of neck profile) prefabricated rods diameter at least one point (in Fig. 3, being labeled as x3), above-mentioned that position along neck, with respect to the prefabricated rods heating region is unfixed, particularly heating unit (process furnace or blowtorch) is unfixed relatively, as in known technology, but change with the geometrical shape of neck, but it is to derive from the analysis of neck profile.For example, this recess diameter be along the neck profile a bit on calculate, this point is a fixed with respect to neck starting point or neck end point, and is definite by analyzing the neck profile.
In known technology, measure a point or a plurality of point of prefabricated rods diameter thereon, with respect to the prefabricated rods heating region is fixed, compare with these known technologies, monitoring neck profile on a point or a plurality of point, the position of point is not prior fixed, but depends on actual neck geometrical shape, and the process parameters that can reduce like this because of changing produces neck shaped and length variations institute inherent problem.
In an other embodiment, the prefabricated rods diameter is that one or more preassigned points calculate from the profile that obtains, and the position of these points does not change with the neck geometrical shape.Utilize the neck image of taking,, according to this neck geometrical shape, change one or more target values again from analyzing the neck geometry information that derives.
Test-results
The applicant has carried out some tests, is reported as follows now.
The shooting of neck profile
Fig. 6 shows, the black and white digital camera of use has 256 gray scales (value scope from 0 to 255), the resolving power of 1360 * 1024 pixels and the sweep rate of 9.5fps, is placed on from the about 60cm of prefabricated rods place, the image of the prefabricated rods neck of shooting.This image is fed to handles and control unit 119 carries out picture processing.This neck obtains from vertical stretch processing process apparatus; Specifically, this image is to stop the stretch processing process, and prefabricated rods is slided from for example stove take.Visible is a storage tube of following the process furnace bottom usually around the rectangle of prefabricated rods on the figure.
Fig. 7 shows the image through first shooting of picture processing after the stage.Specifically, in order to discern the image area that neck occupies, gray scale is lower than predetermined threshold, be 210 pixel specifically, be converted to black picture element (gray-scale value equals 0), and gray scale is higher than the pixel of predetermined threshold, has been converted to white pixel (gray-scale value equals 256).Obviously, from this image that obtains first treatment stage, the neck image can rather clearly be discerned, although also some disturbs, area is littler many than the area that will study.By the filtering process process,, can from image, eliminate these interference by suppressing all white areas below predetermined size.The image that obtains from this filtering process process is shown in Fig. 8.
Then, along each row (promptly along prefabricated rods axle laterally) of picture element matrix, get the transversal of image among Fig. 8, and those are occurred carrying out the transition to bletilla from carrying out the transition to black pixel in vain, be identified as the pixel that is positioned at the neck skeletal lines from black.So, determined to be shown in the neck profile of Fig. 9, in the figure, the scale of coordinate axis is a millimeter, and the neck profile has turned over 90 ° than the image of Fig. 8.
Figure 10 draws through the neck profile behind the interpolation treatment procedure; Specifically, interpolation is carried out with 6 rank polynomial functions, and this polynomial expression inserts has the data that root-mean-square error equals 0.9998.
Use the microprocessor of the commercially available about 700MHz of clock requency, each step from the image taking to the interpolation, about 50ms of time length is corresponding to the about 20fps of maximum scan frequency.In the cost aspect computing time, obviously relevant with image resolution ratio, also relevant with image processing algorithm.Requiring the higher image resolution ratio or the situation of complex image processing algorithm more, can use more powerful microprocessor.
The control of draw stage
The applicant has also carried out experimental test, proves based on the analysis of the neck profile of taking, and can obtain the more accurate control of preform bar stretching stage.
Specifically, the equipment that the applicant draws with Fig. 1 carries out two kinds of stretch processing processes to two prefabricated rods.In draw stage, movable axle 107b moves right, and simultaneously, the dolly 111 that is carrying blowtorch 113 is moved to the left.Can prove that because the balance of mass flow, prefabricated rods is before stretching and beginning afterwards and last diameter D1 and D2, with the translatory velocity V1 and the V2 of axle and blowtorch, by following equation association:
D1
2＊V1＝D2
2＊(V1+V2)
These two kinds of stretch processing processes are carried out keeping initial and last diameter D1 and D2 to be fixed under 20mm and the 15.3mm situation, but change speed V1 and V2.Specifically, first treating processes is to carry out with V1=21mm/min and V2=15mm/min, and the speed of second treating processes is V1=32mm/min, and V2=23mm/min.Should be pointed out that the like this big velocity contrast between the different treatment process, is deliberately to introduce, to amplify the influence of parameter in the preform bar stretching treating processes.
The digital camera that uses is taken use in the test identical with the front report image.Determined the prefabricated rods neck profile of two kinds for the treatment of processess.
Figure 11 is reported in two kinds of stretch processing processes, along the prefabricated rods diameter of prefabricated rods axle at neck area; These diameter values are that the neck profile obtains under two kinds of situations of analysis.Obviously, although initial and last diameter is identical, because different speed V1 and V2, diameter changes according to the rule of two kinds of different treatment processes; Specifically, the length of neck, the starting point of neck and end point are different in two kinds for the treatment of processess: in other words, neck length and shape are with handling process parameter change.
Can measure the diameter of prefabricated rods on respect to blowtorch fixed point, the difference of the diameter of measuring in two kinds for the treatment of processess can reach 1.5mm, but the last diameter of the prefabricated rods after stretching does not have difference.Take place even, the diameter of measurement is the point that does not begin as yet at neck, or the point that is terminating.
Therefore can confirm, with respect to blowtorch fixed position (or more generally, with respect to the prefabricated rods heating region), on predetermined one or more discrete points, measure the diameter of prefabricated rods, the sufficient information in control stretching stage effectively can not be provided.
Curve among Figure 12 shows in two kinds for the treatment of processess poor (D1-D2) along prefabricated rods axle prefabricated rods diameter.Specifically, curve A is in the prefabricated rods heating region, and on the point of identical lengthwise position, poor by calculating (D1-D2) obtains; Curve B is on the point of neck beginning (as previously mentioned, it changes in two kinds for the treatment of processess) same distance, and poor (D1-D2) by calculated diameter obtains; Curve C is to equal identical neck length per-cent in the distance from the neck beginning, and for example on half the point of neck length, poor (D1-D2) by calculated diameter obtains.
Can find out easily, unfixing by the position with respect to heating region, but according on the point that the inspection of neck profile is derived with the variation of neck geometrical shape, measure the prefabricated rods diameter, the interference or the variation that can reduce because of process parameters produce neck geometrical shape difference institute inherent error.Though in the situation of curve A, maximum poor (D1-D2) should be poor in curve C and B situation, respectively less than 0.8mm and 0.6mm: can obtain to surpass 2/3 reduction greater than 1.5mm.
Figure 11 shows, even initial and last diameter is identical, but the geometrical shape of neck can noticeable change.Under this condition, detect the diameter of measurement and the deviation of aimed dia, conventional control techniques will cause the undesirable variation of last diameter.
Figure 12 but shows, if the diameter of prefabricated rods is not at heating region fixed point relatively, but the neck geometrical shape that derives according to the inspection of the neck profile of taking and the prefabricated rods diameter is determined in the position that changes can significantly reduce the deviation with aimed dia.Like this, greatly reduce the undesirable variation of last diameter.
